Congratulations to our Partners in Ag

Agriculture is big business in Texas made possible thanks to longstanding partnerships like the ones we share with the newly appointed 83^rd Legislative Texas House Agriculture and Livestock Committee, and the Texas Senate Committee on Agriculture, Rural Affairs & Homeland Security.

The Texas House Agriculture and Livestock Committee is chaired by Rep. Tracy King (D-Batesville) and composed of Vice Chairman Charles “Doc” Anderson (R-Waco), Rep. Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington), Rep. Drew Springer (R- Muenster), Rep. Mary Gonzalez (D-Clint), Rep. Kyle Kacal (R-Bryan) and Rep. James White (R-Houston).

The Texas Senate Committee on Agriculture, Rural Affairs & Homeland Security is chaired by Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), and composed of Vice Chairman Carlos Uresti (D-San Antonio), Sen. Glenn Hegar (R-Katy), Sen. Juan Hinojosa (D-McAllen) and Rep. Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown).

These committees and the Texas Department of Agriculture will continue working together to prioritize agriculture for rural, suburban and urban Texans.

I look forward to working with these new committees to ensure Texas agriculture continues leading the nation while also fortifying our economy, empowering rural communities and promoting healthy lifestyles.

Congratulations to our new committee members and my thanks to each of you for your dedication to Texas agriculture.
